Some New Office Flora I think I�ve mentioned it before, I work in a fairly male-dominated office. So much so that before I started here, the amount of women on this level equalled the amount of stalls in the bathroom � three. So we had a new lady start the other day and I�d forgotten what it was like to work with another female. And by �work� I really mean �chat, gossip and bitch�. Ahhh. We share a few things in common. Well not the rich husband, posh family, Harvard education bit (do I even need to point out that that part is not me? :oP) but the unusual name thing. And we both refuse to say hi to someone if they have our names. Most people find this odd. It�s just that I have never actual met (face-to-face) someone with my name. If my name was say, Rebecca, then I�m sure I would have had to say hello to quite a few people with my name, but it isn�t and I haven�t. I like being a little unique, and so does *thinks for a nickname for new lady* PalmTree. So named, not because she has a lovely bunch of coconuts, but because she�s tall and because her name is somehow related to nature. Growing up with an unusual name makes me want any future children I have to have unusual names too. It�s just nice when you�re growing up to feel that there is something special about you because you�re unique. But there is no way I�ll name them after fruit, that�s just fracking weird!
